Dufner, Kim and Goosen share lead after

three rounds of the rain-hit Canadian Open

Jason Dufner sank a 10ft putt for an eagle 3 at the long 18th today for a share of the Candian Open champion after three rounds of the bad weather-plagued tournament at the almost waterlogged Glen Abbey Golf Club course in Ontario.
Dufner, Anthony Kim and South African Retief Goosen are the men jointly in the pole position with 18 holes to play ... hopefully completed later today (local time).
Dufner finished off a 2-under-par 70 to match Kim (66) and Retief Goosen (67) at 15 under par. Michael Letzig (66), Bob Estes (68) and Nathan Green (69) were 14 under.
Rain and lightning gave way to sun today in an event awash with nearly five inches of rain since play started Thursday.

Mike Weir, trying to become the first Canadian winner since Pat Fletcher in 1954, was 9 under after a third-round 69. On Sunday, he had a hole-in-one and took a penalty stroke for an infraction Saturday on the final hole of the second round. Weir wasn't disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.
"If a committee makes a decision or an error we can certainly correct it," said Dean Ryan, a Royal Canadian Golf Association rules official.
